The imperial concubine became a pampered girl by relying on food

Chapter 175
With bright eyes, Yun Chujiu nodded.

Yun Wanyi continued: "Originally women were not allowed to play cuju. The founding queen set this precedent. She played cuju very well with others. She established this new cloud club. Later, branches were opened all over the country, which were divided into women's teams. and the men's team."

Yun Chujiu's eyes showed admiration for the founding queen.

She read the history books, the status of women in the Great Xia Dynasty was higher than that of women in previous dynasties, and the founding queen contributed a lot.

The founding queen and the founding emperor went through troubled times and conquered the world. Regardless of the ministers' objections, they set up a national women's prison, allowing women to study, be officials, and do business. Women don't have to be trapped in the inner house all day, but can go out to play.

At the time of the founding queen, there were even female ministers and female princes.

It's just that after hundreds of years, there are basically no female officials in the court, and there is only one female general.

She heard that the female general guarded the country in the frontier and made great military exploits, and she hadn't returned to Beijing for many years.

Yun Chujiu and Yun Wanyi joined the Xinyun Club, paid the money, and came to one of the Cuju venues. None of the people who played here had joined the Xinyun Club.

Yun Chujiu formed a team with other people, played a few rounds, and after mastering the skills, went to another venue to participate in the assessment, all at once.

Yun Chujiu's cheeks were slightly red, and his forehead was sweating. He looked down at the certificate in his hand, and smiled slightly.

"Jiujiu, from now on you will be a member of Xinyun Society." Yun Wanyi smiled.

Yun Chujiu carefully folded the certificate and put it in his pocket, "Xiaoyi, let's go home."

Wenhou Mansion.

After Mrs. Wen came back from the banquet, her eyes were full of sadness. She sat in the yard and thought for a long time, then got up and went to Mrs. Wen's yard, "Mother."

Mrs. Wen raised her eyes and glanced at her. She, the eldest daughter-in-law, would not come looking for her if nothing happened.

Mrs. Wen collected her thoughts, and said slowly, "Mother, Duke Chongguo intends to marry the Duke's residence."

Mrs. Wen casually turned the teacup in her hand. If it was a good thing, her eldest daughter-in-law would not be full of sorrow. It was a bad marriage, she thought about it, and raised her eyes again, "The third young master of the Chongguo Mansion?"

"Mother guessed right." Madam Wen nodded, "Madam Chongguo said that if the daughter of the Hou family marries her youngest son, she can help us connect with the eldest prince."

The eldest prince is the son of the empress, who is both the heir and the elder. The queen's mother's family is strong and powerful. The eldest prince is the most promising candidate for the crown prince, but for some reason, His Majesty has not appointed a crown prince.

The Hou Mansion seems to be powerful, but the Marquis is the last generation. If the Hou Mansion does not make some achievements, the next generation will be reduced to an earl, and His Majesty will definitely take back some power. At that time, the Hou Mansion will not even be as good as the Dingguo Mansion.

So she hoped that the Marquis Mansion could get on the line of the Eldest Prince, and when the Elder Prince ascended the throne, their Marquis Mansion would be a great hero, and the Marquis would be able to keep it.

It's just that the third young master of Duke Chongguo's mansion is a fool, he only smirks when he sees people, and doesn't understand the rules of the family, how can she let the daughter of the Hou's mansion step into the fire pit.

Mrs. Wen frowned, "The daughter of the Hou family cannot marry a foolish person."

Mrs. Wen glanced at Mrs. Wen, then quickly looked away, her eyes drooped slightly to hide what she was thinking, and she sighed softly, "The Hou family has no chance to meet the eldest prince."

She knows better than anyone else that Mrs. Wen is the one who most hopes that the Hou Mansion will become stronger.

She also thought about letting her niece of her natal family marry into the Duke of Chongguo's mansion, but the Duke of Chongguo's mansion appointed the daughter of the Hou's mansion, so this idea was suppressed before it even came up.

However, her niece from her natal family can't marry, but the cousin of the Hou's mansion can. Miss Biao can be regarded as the daughter of the Hou's mansion, and the wife of Chongguo's mansion will not object.

Mrs. Wen put down the teacup and ordered lightly, "You have someone send a post to Duke Dingguo's mansion, and ask Wen Nian to bring Yunchu wine back to Hou's mansion. If you tell her that she doesn't want to go back, I will come and visit her personally." .”

Mrs. Wen was overjoyed, she firmly suppressed her joy, and put on a show: "Xiaojiu is Sanmei's biological daughter after all, why don't we let Yun Wanyi marry to Duke Chongguo's mansion."

Mrs. Wen glanced at her lightly, as if she didn't see what she was thinking, "Yun Wanyi is not Wen Nian's own, there is some dirty blood in her body, we let Yun Wanyi marry into Chongguo Duke's mansion Mrs. Chongguo thought that we were humiliating her, and instead of being married, we became enemies, this is not the ending I want to see."

"Although Yunchujiu grew up in the countryside, she is vulgar and savage, but now her reputation is much better, and she is more than enough to match that fool in Chongguo's mansion. The title of Dingguo's mansion is hereditary, and Yunchujiu is a descendant of the third wife. The Chongguo Mansion will not refuse this good marriage."

Mrs. Wen stood up with a smile, "It's still mother who is thoughtful, so my daughter-in-law will write a post now."

Wen Shi couldn't help frowning when she received the post from the Hou Mansion, not knowing what her mother was going to do, and asked her to bring some wine.

When Yun Chujiu and Yun Wanyi came to Wen Wanyuan, they saw that Wen's brows were tightly frowned, sitting next to her, and Yun Chujiu said, "Mother, what happened."

Wen handed her the post in his hand, "I will go to Hou's mansion by myself in two days."

The mother would not let her go back to the Hou's mansion regardless of the reason, and pointed out that asking her to bring Xiaojiu back must be playing with Xiaojiu's idea. She was not afraid that her mother would plot against her, but she was only afraid that her mother would plot against her children.

She can't help but go, if she doesn't go, her mother will come to the door in person, Dingguo's mansion will definitely not turn her away, when the time comes, the Dingguo's mansion will be in trouble, she can't let her mother disturb her Mother-in-law's cleanliness.

After reading the post in his hand, Yun Chujiu looked up and saw Yun Wanyi was curious, threw the post over, and then looked at Wen, "Since my grandmother asked me to go by name, I will go with my mother."

If she didn't go, grandma would vent all her anger on mother, she couldn't bear it.

If she goes, she can help her mother share one or two, no matter what grandma wants to do, she can do it.

Yun Wanyi frowned after reading the post, "Mother, I'll go with you."

The grandmother must have bad intentions, she can't let the weak mother and the kind Jiujiu go alone.

Yun Chujiu said to Yun Wanyi: "Xiaoyi, it's enough for me to accompany my mother. The shop is busy recently, and I can't do without you as my boss."

Yun Wanyi thought about it, Jiujiu would definitely protect herself and her mother, so she wouldn't make trouble.

Yun Chujiu looked at Wen's again, and said in a soft voice, "Mother, if I don't go, grandma will probably come to look for me in person, so I can only go."

Wen sighed helplessly.

Two days later, the sun was warm, and Wen Shi and Yun Chujiu went to the Hou's Mansion, and the two were led to Mrs. Wen's yard by servants.

The two sat down in the main hall, and the servant girl came up with tea, fruit and snacks, and then slowly withdrew.

Yun Chujiu picked up a piece of fruit and started to eat it leisurely. After eating a piece, he did not forget to say to Wen: "Mother, let's eat some fruit to fill our stomachs first."
